I think care should be taken before banning  spouses from employmet as paid assistants to our members of Parliament. I believe that it can place more strain on marriage or partnership if a member is assisted by a close supportive person who is neither partner or spouse. I feel we will get more out of our Members when they receive this support, and have seen this in action by our memers of different paries and parliaments. In one case a husband made excellent support nand another a wife gave a husband support. At the same time I am not in favour of jobs for other members of the family.
I think a Member of Parliament is part of a team, their spouse or partner.
